Maria Torres: Nationals say top catching prospect Keibert... - The Athletic Nationals say top catching prospect Keibert Ruiz will debut for them tomorrow vs Philadelphia.

Keibert Ruiz - Promotion coming Monday The Nationals announced that Ruiz will be called up from Triple-A Rochester to make his Washington debut Monday versus the Phillies.
Impact The key piece Washington received in the deadline deal that sent Max Scherzer and Trea Turner to the Dodgers, Ruiz has made a quick impression a month int o his tenure with a new organization. Over 20 games at Rochester, the 23-year-old switch-hitting catcher slashed .308/.365/.577 with five home runs and 14 RBI. He should settle in as Washington's everyday backstop upon joining the team Monday, and his exceptional production at Triple-A should give him a chance at emerging as a fantasy-relevant option over the final month of the season, even in leagues that start only one catcher.

Ryne Harper - Picks up first loss Harper (0-1) allowed one hit and two earned runs over a third of an inning, taking the loss in Saturday's 5-3 defeat to the Mets.
Impact Harper entered the game in the seventh inning and allowed the first two batters he faced to reach via a single and a hit by pitch. After Patrick Mazeika popped out, Harper was pulled from the game in favor of Mason Thompson, who promptly gave up a three-run homer to Michael Conforto. Thus, Harper got credited with both a hold and a loss on the night. Even with the added damage, the right-hander still carries a respectable 2.36 ERA into play on Sunday.

Sean Nolin - Strikes out six in no-decision Nolin allowed two runs on six hits with six strikeouts through 5.1 innings, taking a no-decision in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Mets.
Impact In just his third major league start since returning from a six-year hiatus, Nolin poured in his best outing of the season. He handled everybody not named Kevin Pillar on the night, as the only damage to his line came via two solo homers off the bat of the Mets' outfielder. While the six strikeouts are a season high for the well-travelled lefty, he has now allowed four home runs in just 12.1 innings.

Kyle Finnegan - Nails down sixth save Finnegan walked one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his sixth save of the season in a 2-1 win over the Mets.
Impact He only tossed five of 11 pitches for strikes, but Finnegan coaxed a game-ending double play grounder out of Javier Baez to erase his free pass. The right-hander has only blown one save since inheriting the closer role from Brad Hand, but Finnegan's 0.75 ERA in 12 innings over that stretch isn't supported by his 1.17 WHIP or 7:5 K:BB.
AUGUST 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Paolo Espino - Fans seven in win Espino (4-4) picked up the win in Friday's 2-1 victory over the Mets, allowing one run on three hits over five innings. He struck out seven without walking a batter.
Impact He kept New York off balance through 68 pitches (49 strikes), and Espino's only real mistake resulted in a Javier Baez solo shot in the fourth inning. The right-hander has yet to complete six innings in a start since joining the Nats' rotation, but he'll take a respectable 4.13 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 65:15 K:BB through 80.2 innings into his next outing.
